Immortal Longings
Immortal Longings | Chloe Gong
#1 New York Times bestselling author Chloe Gong's adult epic fantasy debut, inspired by Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, is a fiery collision of power plays, spilled blood, and romance amidst a set of deadly games. The only way to win, is to survive. Every year, thousands flock to San-Er, the dangerously dense capital twin cities of the kingdom of Talin, where the palace hosts a set of deadly games. Those confident in their ability to jump between bodies can enter a fight to the death - for the chance to win unimaginable riches. Princess Calla Tuoleimi has been in hiding for five years, ever since she murdered her parents to free the people of Talin from her tyrannical family. Only one person stands in her way of finishing the job: her reclusive uncle King Kasa. However, she knows he always greets the victor of the games. If she wins, she will finally get the chance to kill him. Enter Anton Makusa, whose childhood love has lain in a coma since they were both ousted from the palace. He's deep in debt trying to keep her alive. Which means his last chance at saving her is entering the games and winning. When Anton proposes an unexpected alliance with Calla, they quickly find their partnership spiraling into something all-consuming. But before the games close, Calla must decide what she's playing for - her lover or her kingdom. For no matter what, only one of them can walk out alive . . .

This one was a bit slow throughout, making me question if Chloe Gong just isn't for me. But that ending! I definitely need the next one.

Kudos to the young author! This was quite the story. I‘m not usually into the fantasy genre, but this story sucked me in. I‘m fascinated with the spot where this story was inspired- Hong Kong‘s Kowloon Walled City. I also like the Cleopatra and Antony concept. I‘m also not into the romance genre, but very much liked the love affair that took place between these pages. I am so glad I didn‘t put this book down early. It was worth the read.

Bailed at 70% because of a death that made me very angry. This is the second Chloe Gong book I‘ve attempted and DNF‘d. She‘s just not for me.

4.75/5 ⭐️ Chloe Gong has done it again!! Heavy world building that was a bit much in the beginning but otherwise fantastic dark fantasy! And wow what a cliffhanger! 🤯

Read for #ChloeGongReadalong I didn‘t immediately lock into the story & characters in this trilogy like I did with Gong‘s These Violent Delights & Foul Lady Fortune series & I‘m barely acquainted with Shakespeare‘s Anthony & Cleopatra but the 2nd half of the book kicked it up a notch & it was a wild Hunger Game-ish ride to a BIG ending cliffhanger. Color me hooked now & impatiently waiting for book 2.

TheSpineView Fantastic! 10mo

I‘m not familiar with Shakespeare‘s Antony & Cleopatra, so I have no idea how this retelling compares. At times I was bogged down by the worldbuilding, but the characters & the action was very well written. & THAT ENDING! Can‘t wait to see what is to come!
